What is the Newbery Award and the Newbery Collection?

The Newbery Award is a children's literature award presented annually by the American Library Association to the author who has made the greatest contribution to the development of American children's literature.
This award, which began in 1922, boasts the highest authority and history, so much so that it is called the “Nobel Prize of Children’s Books.”
The judging criteria are as strict as the history and authority of the award, and the judging panel carefully evaluates the book's thematic awareness, depth of information, sophistication of the story, and appropriateness of characters and writing style to determine the winner.
The "Newbery Collection," published by Longtail Books, is a series of English original texts that have been carefully selected from Newbery Award-winning books and famous works by Newbery Award-winning authors, reborn as optimal textbooks for Korean English learners.

Structure of this book

The Newbery Collection is a series of original English books that have been carefully selected from Newbery Medal winners and famous works by Newbery Medal winners, reimagined as optimal textbooks for Korean English learners.
1.
We have comprehensively reviewed the vocabulary level, sentence difficulty, and length to determine whether they are suitable for Korean English learners.
2.
We selected the best works by taking into account their popularity among existing readers of the original books.
3.
The original design, which was difficult to read due to its narrow format and small font, has been significantly revised to maximize readability by making the format larger and using an English font optimized for reading.
4.
The accompanying workbook is designed to help readers read the original text more easily and enjoyably, with a thorough review of difficult vocabulary and quizzes to check comprehension.
